Abstract

<p>  We report a case of polycystic kidney disease, diagnosed only after multiple health checkup examinations. We suspected multiple hepatic and renal cysts using ultrasonography, aortic valve regurgitation using cardiac auscultation, and renal dysfunction using laboratory tests in 2018. Although according to the Manual for Abdominal Ultrasonography, 2014 edition, a health checkup once per year is recommended for polycystic kidney disease cases, the revised version of the Manual, 2021 edition recommends further examination for the disease. Thus, diagnosed cases of polycystic kidney disease would be expected to increase with additional health checkups. Additionally, health checkup information in the Manual for Abdominal Ultrasonography, 2021 edition should be shared with sonographers and physicians of the Ningen-Dock program.</p>
